For Creators & Editors

For creators and editors.

The Collab Program is our selective partnership with editors, photographers, stylists, writers, and creators who share an enduring appreciation for fine craft. Below: how commissions work, what we ask of your content, and how to apply.

What is the Collab Program?

Zen Quality Backpack × Murase Kabanko is a creator partnership built to reward long-term advocacy and exceptional storytelling, aligning our success directly with yours. Commissions are tracked automatically through your unique creator link, and your followers receive a dedicated perk that makes sharing easy.

Who does the program partner with?

We partner selectively with content creators who value timeless quality over fast trends. Every bag is made through an uncompromising 150-step artisanal hand-stitching process in genuine leather and solid metal accessories, so we look for storytelling with the same patience — sustained advocacy over one-post promotions.

How much commission do creators earn?

An escalating tier structure: 10% to start, 12% once your audience takes over.

TierCommissionApplies to
Foundation10%Your first 5 bag sales per month or campaign cycle — baseline momentum as your community discovers the piece.
Escalated Value12%All sales beyond 5 bags, applied automatically — an enhanced reward for high-performing advocacy.

Every creator also receives a unique tracking link and a dedicated 10% discount code for their followers, valid across the entire collection of handcrafted randoseru backpacks.

What content does the program expect?

We ask creators to respect the core aesthetic of the bags — unhurried, tactile, and honest:

  • Cinematic stillness: clean, intentional framing over fast-paced viral trends.
  • Focus on craft: leather grain, hand-stitching precision, the magnetic lock on the base, structural longevity.
  • Authentic integration: show how the piece fits into an everyday, high-end lifestyle.
  • Current format: for this cycle we are specifically seeking AI content, in image or video form.

Frequently asked questions

When are commissions paid?

Commissions are tracked automatically through your unique creator link and disbursed securely on a regular monthly schedule — no manual reporting on your side.

Do collaborators receive sample bags?

The current program overview does not include shipped samples; for this cycle we are specifically seeking AI content, in image or video form. If a sample arrangement matters to your proposal, raise it when you apply and we will discuss it case by case.
